Dude your timing is impeccable…got my first callout for this exact job 3 nights ago…after getting the tools hotshotted I used your video to prepare the night before the repair!
Ha! Thank you, I love to hear that. I hope the video helped you wrap you mind around the task. Send it to others that might find this stuff useful. Spread the word my friend. And again thank you
Great job! I have to say, that this work can be time consumming, casue when you replace that seal you might replace it again in few hours if you won't set it correctly :D Did it couple times, even disassembled due to replacement of sprag wheel (clutch) cause it has time limit. One big note known from my experiance is that you have to be careful when instaling free wheel shaft assembly onto drive pinion. It is possible, that the spacer (12) slides down and it gets stuck between sprag wheel and free wheel shaft housing - it'll do a massive damage i guess (never did that mistake). Greetings ;)
Also if the pictures at the end of the video are taken in Virginia....ahh I have to come visit Virginia someday! I can imagine driving thought the Virginia and listen to Take Me Home, Country Roads all day :D
@@qweq9972 Ha! Yeah I pulled them off the internet, Virginia and West Va. My pictures wouldn’t do it justice. The mountains of Virginia are nice. They’re not West Coast mountains, but nice.
For the curious, White spirit is the name of mineral spirit in europe, and Elf is an old french company that was bought by Total Energies (known as Total Fina at the time of acquisition)

@@HelicopterMaintenance Very nice! If you like mountains check Tatra Mountains - the most famous Polish mountains.
